About Me

My name is Brittany and I am a young wife and mother. I love anything having to do with home and family living including crafts, interior design, sewing, painting, art, cooking, baking, spending time with family, and playing with my little boys. I always seem to have a project going - it's what keeps me happy in life. This blog is a way for me to keep all my inspiration and ideas from cluttering my house. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I have long time been a fan of this Martha Steward Fall front porch! I love the monochromatic color scheme! GOLD. Love how some of the pumpkins have a metallic sheen to them. And the pots of mums just make it for me! Oh, it's so pretty!

I love the idea of mixing flowers with pumpkins! It really dresses those pumpkins up a little! This would be so cute on a front porch.

Always a fan of the lantern idea from Potterybarn. Love the tiny pumpkins surrounding those candles!! And the larger pumpkins and leaves filling the other lantern is really cute, too.

As much as I love the vibrancy of the front porch shown above, this one with the muted oranges and browns is really speaking to me this year. I LOVE that huge leaf wreath. How easy must that be to make!!? Also loving all the rattan and grapevine pumpkins, in place of real pumpkins. LOVE the huge lanterns and the leaves spread over the ground. And I'm also really loving the hay bails. I don't usually, but in this case they look awesome! The table full of candy apples is a nice touch, too. :)

I really like the idea of putting pumpkins in urns like this. The urns could stay on your porch all year round, and then you'd just have to change the filling to fit the season. Love this idea.

Another bunch of pretty lanterns...I really like the idea of filling them like vases, and with pumpkins it's adorable!

And lastly, a metallic scheme for you. Love the sheen of those pumpkins!! And that arrangement next to the door is adorable! Also loving the pretty little pumpkins perched above the door - that's a cute idea if you have a transom like that. And I REALLY love the arrangement on the door. No wreath here. It's a fun new shape and I think it looks great! Kind of like a metallic cornucopia. Love the "boo" next to it, as well. :)
